I wonder how the military was able to keep its war mongering fanatics of the 50's and 60's from lighting up Russa with our nukes?
You know there had to be at least one guy who wanted to push the button without permission. I wonder what ever happened to him?

Well those missiles in Cuba might have had something with provoking our President at the time. Besides his dad gave in the russan demands for Germany lock stock and barrel. Not that I could car about such things, but what do you think would have happened if your GS had decided to stick to his guns?
Have any of you ever dreamed about seeing a nuke light off? I have, a couple of times, and lets just say that I awoke and was very sobered by the experience. If our world leaders, those who have the nukes, have ever had one of these dreams, I will bet they too awoke in a cold sweat and voved to do what they could to prevent such a thing from ever happening.
How we made it out of the 80's without lighing up the world like a roman candel is beyond me, but I am thankful that we did not. I can remember where I was when the movie the Day After was aired on ABC. It was a sunday in October 83. There was a follow up movie about life after the bLast, where people went on with their lives like normal as the depth of what happend began to sink in. People died not only from radation poisoning, but because they simply saw no hope in the future. It was a deeply profoundly sad movie and one, if watched, will turn your stomic.
I would not want my children, if I had any, to live in such a post war world. The thought of them trying to survive the death around them would be too much to bare. Better to die in the bLast than live in the aftermath.
